Composer, trombonist, and Columbia University scholar George Lewis returns home to Chicago for an evening of music and conversation that explores the relationship between humans and machines, musicians and their instruments, improvisation,social responsibility, and agency with the AACM's Great Black Music Ensemble,premier European free jazz pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach and Arnold I. Davidson,the Robert O. Anderson Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago.
Lewis's work merges experimental electronic music and interactive computer programs most notably his software called 'Voyager', which "listens to" and reacts to live performers.
The Chicago native and Yale philosophy graduate is the recipient of a 2002 MacArthur Fellowship, an Alpert Award in the Arts (1999), and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts.His oral history is archived in YaleUniversity's collection of "Major Figures in American Music,"and his published articles on music, experimental video, visual art, and cultural studies have appeared in numerous scholarly journals and edited volumes.
Lewis has been a member of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) since 1971 and is a professor at Columbia University.
